    I would wait till dryer weather and fork the lawn to aerate it.
    I assume the lawn is not boggy all the time?
    If it is, then fork and apply lawn sand to help drainage.
    At the end of the year and every year give it a good scarify to get rid of old thatch that accumulates over the season.
